A lifetime experience

I had the best experience ever! The climbing day is tough but it's so worth it to be on the highest point of Africa! The marangu route is very comfortable but still is an experience that gets you out off your comfort zone

6 Day Marangu Route Kilimanjaro

The Marangu Route up Kilimanjaro was great. The huts are inviting, the food is delicious, and there are solar powered chargers at Mandara and Horombo. The walk was scenic, I especially enjoyed the section from Horombo to Kibo hut. The summit was very cold.

Amazing experience

The communication and planning with owner Noel leading up to the tour was fantastic. The tour with guide Anton and his team was perfect and they really worked hard at ensuring a comfortable safe journey to the summit and back. The food was much better than I anticipated, and they always made sure that you have plenty of water on hand. The price of this tour was cheaper than average but it definitely did not lack in quality, so overall it was fantastic value.
